Louis XVIII silver Essai Medal of 5 Francs 1820 MS64 NGC, Maz-795A. 37 mm. By N. Tiolier. An impressive medal that commemorates Antoine Roy--French lawyer, politician, and noteworthy figure during the Hundred Days when Napoleon returned to France from exile. The broad surfaces are beautifully mottled with darkened gray and iridescent peach tones, mimicking an evening summer sky after a storm, while the obverse monogram and reverse text nicely compliment one another on this wonderfully historical selection.
Estimate: 1000-1500 USD
